Stories in progress: Alone- romance turned suspense Moonshine to Moonshine - sci/fi fantasy Back Alley

I had a meeting with my manager today. When my husband transferred to DC, I applied for a "hardship" transfer. This job was offered to me-it is a dead end job and totally unrelated to the work I specialized in. For the first year my enthusiasm and application of the new skills I was using kept me going. I applied for new positions continuously. but never got them. Now I am totally bored out of my skull with the job. It is all administrative accounting related and there is a specific reason why I stopped taking accounting courses after "Financial Accounting 101". My brain does not work that way. I record information into spreadsheet for budgeting, do a little time keeping and type meeting notes. Boredom leads to calling in sick, being sick and general stupidity. In my previous job, I had to understand some very basic accounting type principles, but I worked with the public. I was very very good at that job-but that job is not available here. My manager thinks that if I can bring my application level back up, he can get me a detail into the same type of area that my husband does. (My husband is real good at this job.) My manager did state that I was the most pleasant person he has worked with in his career. (I haven't become surly, I will accept assignments readily but because of the lack of enthusiasm it is very easy to call in sick.)He thinks that I am a square peg in a round hole with the position I am in.

So, I am asking you all for some help. My goal is not to call in sick unless I am admitted to the hospital for some illness. I need to do this for at least 6 months. I am committing to you all -any one who reads this that I will be at work everywork day. Now I will be letting you know daily what happens. I will post from work at approximately 6-6:15 am est (I start at 7 and until that time I can use internet access freely for non work related items.) Knowing that you will flame me if I don't keep this commitment till September will help. I will let you know when I am on approved annual leave. Can you all help? Thanks
